Friday Night @ CoSM:

Pure Flow An Evening of Sacred Water Consciousness
7pm - 10pm

Imagine a purifying healing rain of life energy showering over you from the highest heavens washing away fear, anger and any heavy negativity so you have complete access to all the light, love and creative energy of your soul. At this precious freaky time come together with CoSM community to pray for the waters of life.

Raise awareness for Earth's sacred waters and learn about how fossil fuels are threatening our waters. Show support for Earth Guardians. Raise funds for indigenous youth at Standing Rock Indian Reservation, the Hunkpapa Lakota and Yanktonai Dakota Indian reservation in North and South Dakota.

Rachel Marco-Havens, Co-Director of Earth Guardians, Director of Youth Engagement, will address the massive build out of fossil fuel infrastructure in New York State and point out the direct connection between the issues in New York and the No Dakota Access Pipeline (NoDAPL) movement.

Through song and prayer lead by Bethany Yarrow of Bethany & Rufus, they will be sharing experiences at Oceti Sakowin Camp in North Dakota and bring attention to the AIM Pipeline being installed in the Hudson Valley.

CoSMonauts are committed to providing support by taking action in our own back yards. Live painting at the event will be CoSM artists Alex Grey, Allyson Grey, Caren Charles, Alexa Spaddy, Louie Izzo, Hilary Astrid and more. An art auction will follow to raise funds for Earth Guardian's mission: To bring leadership training, moral and emotional support to Standing Rock's Youth.

Join us at CoSM on Friday night for this “Pro-activation” dedicated to the Sacredness of Water. Enjoy the CoSM woodlands by day (noon-6pm) and stay for an evening of art, music, compassion and prayer.

Saturday Full Moon @ CoSM:

November Full Moon Workshop: Technologists of Attention
with Michael Garfield
3pm - 6pm

Regardless of the medium, art ultimately acts on attention -- it gathers, gardens and transforms, coordinating each of us within the body of the social super-organism.

Join scientist-turned-multimedia-artist, Michael Garfield, as he draws from his experience as both a natural history illustrator and live painter to empower the Creative Life with deeper understanding of psychology, cognition and communication. Seek and discover new opportunities to change the world by changing how framework and contents of perception.

Learn how to bridge art, science and spiritual practice through fun live painting exercises and develop new eyes for the extraordinary power you channel as an artist. Admission to the workshop includes dinner prepared by the house chef and entry into the Full Moon Gathering. See you then!

Art Church: Self & Godself
hosted by Alex & Allyson
Sunday, 1pm - 5pm

Depicting the physical self through art can reveal the eternal self, sometimes masterfully, as we see in the work of Van Gogh, Rembrandt and Frida Kahlo. The process of looking into a mirror and drawing or painting a portrait allows for an authentic reflective encounter with our true nature, our Godself.

Esteemed architect, Christopher Alexander, said that the greatest art is a reflection of the “Eternal Self.” Our sense of self conditions how we shape our reality and is a central organizing element in our worldview. The perennial philosophy, as put forward by Aldous Huxley, states that humanity has two aspects of self — a contracted egoic smaller self, which is protective of its boundaries and defensive in order to survive, and the eternal self, the self with a higher or transcendental aspect, the Godself. The Mighty I AM presence, holds the thought, vision and relationship with Divine Presence within and above us, an image of the idealized Self.

Self-portrait by Vincent Van Gogh

At Art Church on Sunday afternoon, we will draw or paint our expressive appearance, our shadow and our higher possibility. Examining the masters of artistic self-revelation, we will confab about the higher self. Come at noon to enjoy CoSM indoors and out. Lunch at The Mushroom Cafe and join Art Church for drawing and revelation about how artists have portrayed the self. Program begins at 1pm.
